… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
…nt, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts. “Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. “And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be. “And, O Lord, give us Faith.

…rice tag is for this country to remain free. “No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounding determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.” Franklin D. Roosevelt …
… each and every conflict, genocide, and atrocity, and let the definitions, decisions, spring up, come forth, from real time experience, with the true wisdom of experience, in situ, from this venue of “torture”. Do we not use armed torture to suppress the torture of genocide? Alas, the United Nations back door to permissible “torture”. And one exception begets the intelligent design of Nietzsche morality.

Every day we go without a consumer watchdog is another day when a student, or a senior citizen, or a member of our Armed Forces — because they are very vulnerable to some of this stuff — could be tricked into a loan that they can’t afford — something that happens all the time.

It’s simple and to the point and speaks volumes of what our military is all about. Though each branch of our armed forces has its own slogan regarding service and duty the oldest and best know is The Marine corp’s “Semper Fidelis”; Always Faithful.

Or you can just say a prayer for those less fortunate than you and to all our armed forces where ever they are in the world.

…e Taliban gain control of Pakistan, they will be able to reap the reward of Pakistan’s arsenal of nuclear weapons. What do you think they will do with them? Let’s start with the obvious. These weapons will be used against our armed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. They will probably be used against Israel. And, I am sure there will be some threat to India. Remember, the Taliban protects Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. The War on Terror or whatever e…
… state of the world economy, this is entirely possible. In times of economic turmoil, people tend to get more violent as their pockets get emptier. On another front, today President Obama, displaying some guts, ordered the US Armed Forces to take down the pirates off the coast of Somalia and saved the US Captain of the vessel they boarded last week.
